The vanilla model. As the most affordable model in Samsung's 2023 range of laptops, the Galaxy Book3 comes with a brand-new Intel CPU. In our review, both the Intel Core i5-1335U as well as the entire laptop itself demonstrate what they are capable of in a duel with Galaxy Book3 variants and other 15.6-inch laptops.

Consistent. Medion's QHD gaming laptop offers respectable performance (Core i7-13700HX, GeForce RTX 4060), good features (16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, 240-Hz panel, Thunderbolt 4) and decent runtimes. A "silent mode" makes quiet gaming possible.

Triple A. The VivoBook doesn't exactly come with the newest hardware (Alder Lake, Ampere), but it does score points for other reasons: The Asus laptop has a bright 16-inch screen (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) in 16:10 format which has a high refresh rate (120 Hz) and great color space coverage (DCI-P3).

Galaxy Book Air. Low weight (approx. 1.2 kg), compact size and an AMOLED screen in a work-friendly 16:10 format (2,880 x 1,800) characterize Samsung's 14-incher. Two Thunderbolt 4 ports and very good battery life also add to the notebook's appeal.

Delicate Gram. A low weight of about 1.35 kg (~2.98 lb), an excellent battery life, and a matte 17-inch display (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) in the 16:10 format represent the highlights of the LG Gram 17. They are accompanied by two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a good keyboard.

Creative beast on a leash. The Galaxy Book3 Ultra's computing power is not visible from the outside. While the RTX 4070 and i9-13900H are definitely the stuff of a powerful gaming laptop, these components are housed in an extremely slim and discreet case. This is only possible with significantly reduced power consumption, which does not hinder performance as much as one might expect.

Gaming ultrabook. Lenovo is offering its new Yoga Pro 7 14 with the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU and a matte 3K display with 120 Hz and P3 color space coverage. This turns the compact 14-inch device into a powerful multimedia device that can also run the latest games.

Imbalanced. Despite the 16-inch format, the Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 16 can be considered a mobile laptop because of its compact size, low weight, and very good battery life. In addition, it offers an AMOLED display in the work-friendly 16:10 format (2,880 x 1,800 pixels) and a powerful Core i5 processor.

Slimmer isn't always better. Asus has completely reworked last year's Zenbook S13 OLED, and the new 2023 model has now become lighter and also slimmer. In addition, Asus has replaced the AMD chip with an Intel Raptor Lake processor, but that isn't really an advantage. In everyday operation, the two fans are also a problem.

Debut for the Ryzen 9 7940HS. The 2023 Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is the first laptop with AMD’s new Phoenix mobile processor, which is combined with the fast GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop and a 165 Hz Mini-LED panel in a compact 14-inch laptop.

The golden mean? Samsung attempts to balance performance, mobility, power consumption and noise emissions in the Galaxy Book 3 Ultra 16 - and does well as a result. The Core i7-13700H and GeForce RTX 4050 deliver plenty of performance for gaming and rendering, even at reduced power.

The last samurai. The Lenovo ThinkPad P15v Gen 3 will be the final ThinkPad with the classic 1.8 mm keyboard. It's also the first workstation model in the ThinkPad series with the AMD Ryzen 6000H series - the mixture of old and new in this relatively inexpensive ThinkPad workstation is exciting.
AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H | NVIDIA RTX A2000 Laptop GPU | 15.60" | 2.2 kg

Expensive office laptop. Microsoft have updated the Surface Laptop 5 with Alder Lake processors and Thunderbolt 4 - but the rest of the device has remained the same. Neither performance nor features can make up for the laptop's premium price.
Intel Core i7-1255U | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EUs | 15.00" | 1.6 kg

Upgraded. Medion's heavily equipped gaming notebook offers a large 16-inch screen (QHD+, 240 Hz, G-Sync) in 16:10 format, a mechanical keyboard, 32 GB of RAM and a whopping 2 TB of storage space. A Core i9-13900HX and a GeForce RTX 4070 drive the powerful computing behemoth.

Dynamic AMOLED2X The Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 actually beats our measurement hardware with its lighting-fast display. The same cannot be said for the Intel Core i5-1340P. This is the Raptor Lake processor's debut at Notebookcheck and it hast left us ... unimpressed.
